Hi, I'm Mandy. I'm a mum, a vegetarian, an animal lover and I love to create. My fave creative expression is mixed media which includes a lot of handmade backgrounds, lots of stamping and lots of collage. I love nothing better than to sit with a collection of collage images and create something. I run two challenge blogs as well as my own blog, which keep me busy in-between making things.

"When my son was in elementary school I bought him some
stamps for a poster project and realized I was having more fun with them than
he was.Later I started reading stamping
magazines and joining Yahoo groups for stampers.A local friend is an artist and I started
having collage play time with her.Over
the years I’ve tried a few local art classes.By the time my son was in college I was getting quite serious about my
“hobby”.

I started blogging in June of 2010 and I haven’t looked
back.Though card making is always a
favorite activity because they are easy to give away, blogging has gotten me to
try many other things from ATCs to “moos” to “twinchies” to art journals to
canvases.Participating in swaps and
challenges has helped me to grow as an artist. I am honored to be a guest
designer for Crafting by Design."

"for
this birthday challenge I decided to make some decorative gift bags.I love collage so I used lunagirl images and
a variety of other papers, tapes, laces, flowers and such to create 2 one of a
kind bags which will work well for holding birthday gifts"
